Increasing the Competitive Edge in Science and Mathematics

Description

Georgia PRISM Leaders address STEM education in a new book:

"Increasing the Competitive Edge in Math and Science" encourages local, regional and statewide partnerships between K-12 schools and colleges and universities to be formed so that education reform efforts can be scaled. It then lays out the necessary steps for K-12 teachers, higher education faculty, administrators at all levels, and policy makers to work collaboratively to prepare American youth for meaningful participation in the twenty-first century science and technologically-based economy. It also provides tips and instruction for building student interest in STEM, improving the quality of STEM teaching and creating learning communities among educators and experts.
